THE ASTURIAS AND PROVINCE OF ST. ANDERO. OCTOBER 111 D NovErtinait. --, —Tne English and 'the Spanidids ,:uempted to take the position of San 7 tona, in order foArake it a centre of insurredion, and to pr)ducea rising in the country.. An expe dition; long ,ago announced in the English papers, sailed for that purpose from Co:unna, on board four fligates and about forty transports. On the afternoon of the 17rh of October, the Mar quesitto, so often beaten by General Bonnet, and not having more than 300 men under his ordent, on sudden appeared before' Gijon. Colonel Cretin, with a pit quet of Chasseurs, and a company of Vol tigews, had already repulsed him, when he perceiv ed a squadron of 27 sail, which approached the . harbour, and soon after began to land troops to the number of 2 A .500. The Colonel, too weak to resist a ;uperiority,so decided,,evactiated the place in good order, and' retired . to within a league of the town. Next day, having received sufficient reinforcementS, he marched against Gijon, and forced the English and Spaniards to re-embark, leaving some hundreds of killed and wounded. On the :2011 , .a amps of 5000 Galicians attacked the brigade , ValleteaUx at Fresno and Grado. This attack had ncr better success than the debarkation.,— fhe.enemy was completely beaten, and driven be-, yond the•Nareca, after loci. g a‘great many men.— The squadron having appeared to take a northerly Course, General Bonnet communicated this to the COmmandants of St. Ande►o and the coast. On the 23d the first demi-brigade of light infan . . try was already colleCted at Laredo, and General Cal farelli arrivi-d with some thousand-troops, fully de termined to throw all into the sea who should at tempt to land. Towards evening the squadron anchored in the Itods; it consisted of 4 frigates, one of which was Spanish, 3 brigs, 2 schooners, 4 gun-boats, 30 trans ports.; in a 11.43 sail. On the 24th and-25th, the wind having chang ed, the ships of war were fOrced to stand off, leaving the transports in the Roads ; the storm increasing, the Spanish frigate I6st its anchors, and was driven on the rocks of Laverl.), where it perished ; an Eng lish blig raid 4 Spanish gun-boats met Ord same late. The - troops on board and the crews farm a loss of about 1200 men to the enemy. In spite of these disasters,. the shipS of war hav ing again made-their appearance on the 26th, the enemy wished to effect a landing on the 27th. At one in the afternoon the troops were embarked in boats; 3 gun-boats advanced at their head, to en deavour to dear • the beaCh with grape-shot. The first demi-brigade awaited them with steadiness, and a land battery near Saniona havi n g s o on opened a flanking fire on the boats, there temained for them nothing hut retreat. The EnOsh Commodor made signal for te 7 embarking. At 5, the wind ,havill freshened, the flotilla disappeared, bearing away to he north ;_ from that -moment, tempests did not ease assailing this unfortunate expedition. The ac connts of the Ist of-November announced, that re mains of the transports were on the coast of Plen chia and AnChona ; they were taken.possesiou of they w ere fOthid laden . Wit h- tgoops,, military stores, artillery, amMunition, Vic. 'Other transports have entered the ports which we occupy, and have been taken, with h.their lading, and the men who were on boar.i. Of all -this expedition; the En , 4l:sh frigates ' alone were able to save themselves; Sae of them, however, which was very roughly. treAtvd by our batteries, must with difficulty have weathered the successive storms which lasted for several days. It is probable that she is lost there has been no news. of her. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 22. TO 'M: 'VAN DER CARPELLEN, MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR.

No mixture of grey whatever is admitted into the i)resent order of mourning; the udder dresses are invariably of black silk. Black kid shoes, With jet roses, and plain black or white silk tock tugs. _ In regard to jewellery, every species of jet orna ments are worn ; plain roWs of large bead. seem to have the preference above fancy nqklaces; large \Maltese crosses are innumerable; .the long -monastic necklaces and crosses are also much worn ; and cameos in rings, brooches, combs, and crescents, are in the highest estimation . ; they are much used also in necklaces large in the centre, but of a diminished size towards the ends.' Black is not only the entire colour, but such also is the colour of the times, that though the metro thronged, there is neither gaiety or bustle in oar streets, and so general is the mourning that fashion is no where to be found..

BBRNADOTTE." Thursday se'nnight, obout '4 o'clock afternoon, as a servant girl, about 17 years of age of the name of Stewart, was going . from Glasgow to Balqulaidder, through the Stockmoir, near the farm of Quinloch, she was attacked by a man of a black complexion,' with an Irish accent, knocked down, cruelly beaten, and robbed of a bundle clothes, a new umbrella, and' five shillings, in silver. A short time alter the vil-: lain returned, , and found her so far recovered as to be able to sit up, when he again beat and, b, wised her in a most barbarous manner, and then took her up and threw her - over a dike into 'a pa r k. Sh e was found lying- on the ground speechless next day, about IQ o'clock, by some farmers; who fortunately were dividing cattle in the moor, otherwise she, no doubt, would have died on the spot ; they diately carried her to an adjoining house. Excepta word or two which sl,e unintelligibly Uttered soon after a cordial was given to her, it was's24 hours be fore'she could give any account of the transaction. In a fdrtner paper we inet.:,tioned the alarming si tuation in which Mr. Plummer and his family, of the hotel at Friestou-shore were placed by ,the re cent inundation. For two days they were nearly starved 'to death,, by wet, and the want of proper support under such a - trying calamity. As soon as the waters had subsided sufficiently to allow a fire, to be made in one of the apartments, a melanChofy accident, ,of a very different kind frOm the inun dation, happened to Mr. Plummer.—Amongst the . coals which vial thrown on the fire was a tin car tridge for a cannon, supposed to hate been washed from.an Ametican ship wrecked on the shore, and to have lodged in the coal4reap. It was not ob served until it exploded in the fire with tremendous violence. The shock damaged the house a good deal; but its most melancholy effect was upon the. unfortunate Mr. Plummer, uho, sitting by the fire, was immediatelyblinded by the explosion, and had his face torn to pieces by the coals, driven as if , from a gun from the grate.—By surgical 'aid' the sight of one eye has been restored; but with the other there is no hope of his ever seeing again.— (Boston Gazette.) On Monday afternoon a Gentleman arrived in a chaise and four at Bow-street Office, from the neighbourhood of Carshalton, and stated to Mr. Read that he was come to town in pursuit of his son, Who had left home early that morning for Lon don; and he strongly suspected for the purpose of marrying a young woman, whom he had a very.great objection to. Adkins was desired to attenct the Gen tleman. Adkins went in his pursuit fist to Doc tors' Commons, and inquiring if a license had been, obtained, ascertained that one had been granted, and that the youth was to be martied at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, ou Thursday morning.— Adkins and the father attended early in the morn ing of that day, at the Church, VThere, after waiting some time, a man employed as a porter came into the Church from the son to ascertain it any person had been enquiring as to his intended marriage. The , father i of Adkins endeavoured to make a confidant of the Man, and gave him two guineas not to tell they were there. Just after the man was gone, they began to suspect he would betray them, andlollos.vel, • him to a house in South•street ; their suspicions of the man proved true, for he informed the. son his father was at the Church : however, alter waiting some time, a hackhey coach drew up,, and the son and his intended wife came out 'of the house, and jumped into the coach, and just as- it was about to,, drive off, the, father and Adkins stopped it. The son being above 21 years of age, could have perse vered in .his marriage, his intended wife being also offulf age ; but Inc father, after some persuasion. and' remonstrance, succeeded in prevailing on his son to relinquish his intended marriage, and to go ,to the Church and cancel the license. '['hey then set offon their return to the country, leaving the fair damsel in London, to grieve at her disappointment. The son is possessed of very considerablstprope, ty ; he has lately left college.
